Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.4%

Expect more losses today.

According to OCBC, the muted showing on Wall Street overnight is again unlikely to lift local sentiment much this morning; the Nikkei has opened 0.2% lower.

Here's more from OCBC:

As before, we could see investors continuing to move to the sidelines ahead of the upcoming long weekend (market is shut on Friday and Monday here).

Still, we do note that the STI could stage a technical rebound soon, with the daily RSI now showing oversold signals; but the MACD is still mired deep inside the negative region though.

Hence, we think that failure to convincingly clear the initial 3202 hurdle could encourage investors to sell into strength.

On the downside, we peg the immediate support at 3150, ahead of 3100.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
